What color belt looks good with cognac colored shoes? I bought a matching cognac belt from Vass but I think its over the top with some outfits.

For any of shoes in the cognac/chestnut/tan range I wear one or two belts that aren't specifically any of those colors, but versatile enough to go with all medium shades like that. It has natural contrast stitching along the edges which may help a bit with things.

The bigger question for me is what to pair with my incoming Vass single monks in Burgundy cal! Don't really need a Burgundy belt specifically. Perhaps a dark brown belt with some red overtones is the way to go.

^ Pliny - good stuff! Agree that the 3 eyelet derby will be very versatile. Last wearing of the season for these dark brown shell cordovan Vass chukkas on the P2...they've been developing a fantastic patina which you can make out here with the flash.

mm good shoes get better, cordo more than others. they look great. Slewfoot, do you go down a size for your cordo chukkas compared to P2 or F regular shoe?

Thanks! I kept these at the same size as my F and P2 calf boots (all in the same order) and the P2 is a touch roomier than the F, but going a half size down might make them too small. I use a thin Tacco leather insole currently and they're perfect.
